Customer called for a pruning of two Bradford pears, both well irrigated, well maintained in manicured gardens, both 8"-10"" trunks, 20' tall. Owners are looking to prune them back, probably about 1/3 of the crown. Got there and both trees look like this, this just being a small sprig. Any ideas what I'm looking a? Anthracnose? Drought/heat related? Should I wait till this is diagnosed and cured before pruning in the winter?
